Argentinian bassist Alfredo Remus, who has been involved since the early days of jazz scene in the 1950s and has been a regular in a series of informal improvisational performances and experimental gatherings held at Eduardo Lagos' house, and who has also made great achievements in the folklore scene. This album is a trio recording released in 1970, featuring Jorge Anders and Nestor Astarita. It features a relaxed atmosphere, yet maintains a mature groove with well-balanced tempo changes throughout, alongside the interplay with his longtime music partner Jorge Anders, and Nestor Astarita who reportedly joined the group at the last minute but also delivers a very steady performance. "My Little Monica" where musicians groove seamlessly while clearly aware of each other's presence, and "Pendulo," with intriguing scales, are particularly outstanding. While there is some background noise especially in the quieter sections, but believe still enjoylable. It's almost a full recording, so please give it a listen.
50年代のジャズ創生期からシーンに携わり、Eduardo Lagosの家で行われていたAstor Piazzolla, Jorge López Ruiz, Domingo Curaなどが参加していた一連の非公式な即興演奏と実験の集いの常連でフォルクローレ・シーンにおいても大きな功績を残したアルゼンチンを代表するベーシストAlfredo Remus。本作は70年リリースのJorge AndersとNestor Astaritaと共に録音されたトリオ作品。旧知の仲Jorge Andersとのインタープレイに突然メンバーとなったというNestor Astaritaも非常に安定したプレイを見せていて、リラックスした雰囲気の中にも緩急をつけた円熟のグルーヴが全編に渡り収録されています。とりわけお互いを意識しながら流れるようにグルーヴしていく”My Little Monica”と面白い音階を踏む”Pendulo”は白眉。全編静部中心にバックグラウンドノイズ入りますがまだまだ楽しんで頂けると思います。ほぼフルで録音してますので聞いてみて下さい。
